More information

Blooms abundantly with small semi-double flowers on a vigorous, undulating shrub. Flowers open bright deep pink and later fade to pale pink‑purple, with golden stamens in the center; lavender shading is minimal. Inflorescences appear in tight clusters of 10–40. Foliage is small, dark green, and shoots are fairly prickly; note susceptibility to powdery mildew. The plant forms arching canes up to 2 m in warm climates, and about half that in colder climates. Flowers show rain resistance; suitable for mass plantings, groundcover, and landscape use, and can be placed in mixed borders with other plants to provide a soft, delicate-toned background. ADR-certified in 1987 .

Gardeners often select companion plants for roses; lavender is a traditional choice. In some climates, lavender can be more difficult to cultivate than roses. The cultivar Lavender Dream can be used as a substitute for lavender in planting schemes. The numerous small, semi-double blooms can create a bluish haze, functioning as a watercolor-like background for hybrid tea roses.
